The extension of railroads in all
directions in Southern California has
been so great and SO rapid that a
scarcity of locomotives has cramped
the business of the roads. The A.,
T. &. s. F. has been especially short
of engines, and in order to meet their
pressing wants, they telegraphed yes
terday to Chicago for as many loco
motives as could be spared, to be sent
to thisIpoint Immediately. Notwith-
standing railroad building has been
unprecedented in this section during
the past year, it is found that the
traffic increases so rapidly as to more
than meet even the most liberal an
ticipations Of the railroad men them
selves.

PROFESSOR j. III. CLARKE, OF this
city, who has been selected to write a
com pendious United States History
for the State School Text Book
Series, has entered upon his import
ant duties at Sacramento. 1t will
ia Ike him six months TO accomplish
the work. The State Board OF Ed
ucation had a number of applicants
before them. They were required to
send in specimens OF the work they
contemplated, celebrating their
methods, and aifording the Board an
op portunity OF examining their style.
From these specimens, that of Pro-
fessor Clarke was considered as Civ
ing the best promise OF history that
would at once be concise and per-
spicuous. We feel assured that the
Boa rd has made a good selection,
and that United States History will
be added to the State series OF school
boo ks that will be fully up to the
high order of excellence Of those
air eady published.

No DuII season.

Summer has usually proved to be
a very dull time in the large towns OF
Southern California. Even since the
great growth OF the past six years set
in in earnest, there has heretofore
been no exception TO this general
rule. The present season, however, is
furnishing such an exception. tits as
hard to find house for new family
torrent these days in mid-May as it was
when the excursion business was at
its height in December or january.
The hegira OF our own citizens to the
mountain camp or seaside resort has
commenced. Many are already gone,
but OF course for the most part the
houses OF such people are merely
closed, and are not to let. Those
that are placed on the market
for tenants are snapped up
before the ink is dry on the an
nouncement. The fact is, there is no
let up TO the influx of newcomers.
The arrivals in this section are no
lon ger exclusively, nor even mainly,
the invalid or valetudinarian seeking
respite nom the rigors Of an intolera-
BILE climate beneath our sunny skies.
The incomers are now made up to a
great extent of well and prosperous
people, seeking a home in region
| at last becoming as justly and as
widely celebrated for its matchless
material resources as heretofore it has
been lauded as health resort. In
this connection it may be noted that
there is to be no. hiatus this
season in the excursion business.
MANY of the great railroad combina-
tions make public their statement,
that so large is the rush to South Cal
4 ifornia that they are compelled to
continue through the entire summer
their popular excursion trains. One
road announces as many as fifteer
such trips arranged for during the
SUNNI er months OF this year. These
people are coming for the most par
to stay, and to aid in the work o
subdi viding the big ranches which
are soon TO bloom with thousands 0
lovely and prosperous homes.

They make short work Of train
wreckers in Mexico. They send out
squad of soldiers to bring in all
suspected parties. These are exam
ined before a judge and those who are
considered from tho evidence guilty,
are taken to the scene of their wreck
ing, stood up against wall and shot
to death. No foolishness about that
kind Of peremtory business. 1t may
have its drawbacks. An innocent
man may once in way be executed !;
but the lesson is powerful in its ef-
fects. 1t tends to make railroad
travel in Mexico safer than in the
United States.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
How the Best Quality OF This Indlspensa-
BILE Article Il Made.


After the machinery has been set In
motion. the first stepis to place block
in the splint machine. With each
movement of the knife twenty-five
splints are cut, and at the same time
stuck between two Stats in the moving
belt. They are then carried by the
movement of the belt through the sep
arator and over heated pipes TO dry the
timber. About fifty feet from the
starting point the belt passes under n
couple of rollers, which press it down
just enough to bring the ends of the
splints, which are sticking through un-
derneath, in contact with the melted
sulphur, which is contained In pan or
vat A little further on the belt is
again depressed, and the tips of the
splints are drawn through y black mix
turc, which gives them the finishing
coat From this point the matches
pass down the hall, siill travelling ON
the belt at the height of about
n foot and half from the floor.
At distance of two hundred
feet. from the starting point the
belt takes an upward turn, and after
ascending four or five feet the
matches begin their return trip. They
come back over the splint machine,
enter the Groom where another machine
is located, and are there knocked out,
the heads all pointing the same diroc-
ton. As they fall they are caught by
u leather belt which moves slowly and
carries them to table, where they are
taken of by u boy and placed in trays
made for the purpose and taken to the
packing-room. The belt completes n
circuit once in thirty minutes, and
during the interval several thousand
matches are finished, Tho machinery
described is found in an establishment
in the East, where two or three men
can turn out from 500 to 600 gross oil
sulphur matches per day. The match
thus produced Is superior III quality,
and will light readily ON being drawn
across the window glass, This i
claimed 10 be crucial test, aud infc
rior ones can not be ignitcd in this man
ncr.
On arriving in the packing room
the matches are first placed in small
paper boxes, one hundred in each box
The small packages are then paekc,
in paste-board boxes containing on
sixteenth or one-oighth gross. - ri,
and Firtside.

THE ENGLISH SOLDIER.
His Meager Pay and stiil More Meage
Chance for Promotion.


Chance for Promotion.
The nominal pay of u common soldier
is twenty-five cents q day, varying
up to forty-two cents day for
men in the household cavalry.
But when the prescribed stoppages
have been made toward the cost Of his
keep very little indeed is left to him
in the way of pocket money. He may
not fare badly, as compared with men
of his own rank in life who are not
soldiers, while he is in his teens or for q
few years after. Soon, however he
wants more, and is worth more-if he
is worth any thing and the bride of
four cents a day, rising to six cents, for
Encouragement, is not enough for his re-
auirements or his deserts. He may. of
course, advance to be a corporal, SER
geant, or even sergeant-major, re-
ceiving as much as Sl.25, or in the
Royal Engineers, $3.50 day; nay, it
is now possible for him TO be promoted
altogether out Of the ranks and to be-
come ian officer and Il gentleman,
But these latter promoti ons are very
rare, and, though there are doubtless
quite as many non-commissioned off
GERS as there is room or need for in n
regiment, enough scope is not thus
afforded for the reward of good conduct
and long service which the great mass
of our soldiers have right to expect.
Surely, it would be to the general adj
vantage, and not really expensive, if
such n progressive scale of pay were
adopted as would enable II private, if
through no fault of his own he con-
tinued to be private all through his
career, to have when he was forty or
fifty years old much larger remunera-
ton than the balance left to him, after
stoppages, from nominal wage of thirty
cents day The addition of a penny
to every soldiers pay would amount to
nearly $1,500,000 a year, but as we sur
render with every soldier whom we dis
charge after seven years service the
value of something like 5000, there
would be no expense whatever if we
kept that one thousand pounds worth
of soldiership in the army, in using the
money to recompense our trained men
for continuing in our service. Gentle

Parasitic Plant Diseases.


The prevalence of smut in corn we
believe to be owing 20 the want of care
in disinfectng the seed The process
of preparing wheat for seed, by stepping
it in solution Of four ounces of sui
plate of copper in a gallon of water
for each five bushels of seed, has
been found so effective that it should
be applied to oats and corn, which are
much affected by this parasitic disease.
1t is Il disease caused by the infection
of . parasitic germ quite as much as
similar diseases of animals, to which
the terms contagious and infectious have
been applied; and, as the germ adhering
to the seed is destroyed by the corrosive
solution used just as the germs Of ami
NAL diseases are destroyed by disinfect-
ing treatment, the result is equally the
same, and the crops are preserved from
injury. This precaution should be used
with seed. oats and corn. and, we be-
lieve, would be equally effective with
the seed or sets or cuttings Of pota.

growers may very we'll try the expert.
